UOG Graduation - Cheltenham Racecourse - 21/11/2024
This achievement has provided me with a solid foundation in Arts and Humanities, which directly supports my career aspirations in the museum and heritage sector. The skills I gained—research, critical thinking, communication, and cultural awareness—are all transferable to curatorial, archival, and educational roles within museums and cultural institutions.
🌟 Future Academic Plans:
I am now preparing to continue my studies with the Open University, working towards a Diploma of Higher Education in Arts and Humanities with a focus on Art History and Religious Studies. Alongside this, I’m gaining hands-on experience through volunteering with Sheffield Museums Trust, where I’m developing practical museum and events support skills.
